Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My mummy and I are taking part in a 5K Fun Run in Glasgow on the 10th June to raise money for the Neonatal Intensive Care & High Dependancy Units in Yorkhill Chidren's Hospital.

We are doing this as a way of saying thank you to the staff in both wards for taking such good care of me and saving my life. I spent the first 5 months of my life in the wards after being born 7 weeks early and needing operations to fix my bowels, which were in 2 parts.

My mummy and daddy both found it difficult seeing me in hospital, and there were a few times they thought they might lose me, but the dedication of the staff towards my care gave them a lot of reassurance.

I'd like to raise as much as I can for the wards so they can buy equipment that will help with the development of babies who are admitted, and aides them with their recovery.

Helping me do this by sponsoring us would mean so much to us, and hopefully help make a difference, even if it only in a small way. So, please, please, sponsor me and mummy, even if it's only a small amount.(Although lots of money would be better :-) )
